Have you ever watched an "Airport" movie and wished the cast would get eaten by sharks? Your dream just came true with DEEP WATER, a disaster movie hybrid with some bloody great action but waterlogged special effects. The cast of characters is straight out of a 1970's Airport sequel. Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight) is Ben, the committed First Officer trying to get one last round-trip done so he can get home to his wife and ill son. Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler's List) play

Twenty years after the original, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 struts onto the runway dripping big laughs, stunning locations, prime Meryl Streep and plenty of surprises. As we're dropped back into present day Manhattan, Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) has carved out a two decade career as a journalist. Just as she's winning an award for an expose, her entire team is fired and the publication they work for is shuttered. Print and Magazines are dead (yep!) and that's not good for Miranda

MUNICH is brilliant. It's no revelation that Steven Spielberg has made a lot of great movies that we all know and love. This is one of my favorite Spielberg films, and it's also one of his lesser known. Through incredible recreations and stellar casting, MUNICH opens with the Black September terrorists infiltrating the Olympic Village in 1972, holding the Israeli athletes hostage and killing them as the world watches. Spielberg deftly weaves actual news footage into his recre

Anytime I see "Authentic Paranormal Tales" in a film's description, I raise an eyebrow. Am I going to sit through 2 hours of Ghost Hunters where every shadow, pipe creak and cold spot is a tunnel to Hell? No thanks. I was drawn to Netflix's Documentary series TRUE HAUNTING due to its pedigree. Executive Producer James Wan has been behind some of my favorite horror of the past decade, including (as a Producer) Lee Cronin's The Mummy and The Conjuring films. OK, you've got my a

MICHAEL absolutely floored me, blowing away my expectations with at least three historical recreations that soared in Dolby Cinema. It's an absolute thriller. Ignore the naysayers that approached the film with their own agenda, mostly social media warriors that didn't see their own issues addressed. The film takes place from Michael's early years to the kickoff of his BAD Tour in London, before any accusations began surfacing. I'm watching the film as a lifelong fan of MJ's a

They don't make them like this anymore. Thank the film gods. Stately, dull and a complete waste of Bisset & Bergen, RICH AND FAMOUS is a 1981 melodrama that manages to even make sex boring. Director George Cukor (My Fair Lady, The Philadelphia Story, Gaslight) turned out his fair share of film classics in the 40's and 50's, but this was his last, tired film. It's gasping on fumes as it reaches out to a past era of two hankie melodramas. Jacqueline Bisset (Bullitt, Airport) mo

GOOD BOY turns out to be a one-trick puppy, but moments of the trick are undeniably entertaining. The definition of a low-budget horror entry, Writer/Director Ben Leonberg shot the film over 400+ days, capturing natural moments of his own dog Indy on film. And damned if Indy isn't great as the center of the tale. I can't imagine the patience it took to film the puppy for that many months to get the exact right expression/whimper or bark, but Leonberg and Indy nail all the key

Any NFL fan will be hard pressed to not enjoy DRAFT DAY on some level. Your enthusiasm will vary wildly based on your forgiveness for how badly the film fumbles the ball when it gets off the field. Kevin Costner stars as fictional Cleveland Browns general manager Sonny Weaver. He has just lost his legendary father/previous Browns GM after firing him the year before. Sonny is facing a draft day that will shape his team and his career as he is truly at the controls for the fir

Bob Odenkirk is the new Liam Neeson. Didn't see that one coming. NORMAL is another hugely entertaining action thriller and a great follow up to Odenkirk's "Nobody" flicks. In those films, he played a former agent who's just trying to retire. This time out, he's Ulysses Richardson, a good lawman who's found quiet respite as a fill in sheriff in a very small, very cold Minnesota town that might remind you of a little place called Fargo. The townspeople certainly are the same ki

One of the most troubled productions of the mid 70's, LUCKY LADY proved to be anything but at the box office. Hot off of her Best Actress win for "Cabaret" in 1972, Liza Minnelli was very careful about her next big screen project. Perhaps lured by the chance to work with legendary (but aging) Director Stanley Donen (Singing in the Rain, Two for the Road) and the two biggest box office actors of the time, Burt Reynolds & Gene Hackman, she leapt in with both feet. You can't say
